Mermaid Blankie Tails!: The Solution to Mermaiding in The Winter in Ice Cold Water

[AtlantisDreamer]

Hey everyone! I just posted this on my blog, http://TheMermaidPriestess.com/ (The Magick Of The Mermaid Priestess - my wildly popular Otherkin and Mermaid Magick blog filled with mermaid articles, mermaid art, mermaid spells, mermaid rituals, mermaid healing, mermaid divination, mermaid crystals and stones, mermaid tails and mermaiding, otherkin/real mermaid material, ocean spells, ocean rituals, ocean healing, sea witchery/sea priestess info and ocean goddess worship, mermaid resources, and free mermaid oracle readings), and I decided I wanted to share it here and definitely should... Check this out! (Check out my blog, too, if you like)

This Christmas I’ll be getting the coolest gift ever from my mother! Ever wanted to go Mermaiding in the Winter but couldn’t because the ocean or pool water was too cold, or even in a heated pool, just didn’t want to because you didn’t want to have to get back out into the ice cold air? What’s a mermaid to do?! How about go Mermaiding in bed, snuggled up with a warm blanket and a nice book in front of the fire instead… And now it’s possible with a wearable mermaid tail blanket from Blankie Tails! (See www.BlankieTails.com)

I think this is the greatest idea since, well, swimmable mermaid tails! And I can’t wait to get mine. Each tail is machine washable and made from extra plush, double-sided minky fabric. They come in three colors - Pink & Periwinkle, Purple & Green, and Blue & Aqua. They cost $39 dollars + shipping.
I think this is THE ULTIMATE alternative to Mermaiding during the Winter months, not to mention the ideal way to be a mermaid in your home. I used to wear my swimming tail and fin all the time when I felt like, “being myself,” and that was just plain impractical and uncomfortable. Now I have a completely awesome solution! I can’t wait! I assume I’ll probably end up collecting all the colors, too. I think my favorite part might just be how the feet fit into the bottom of the tail! How snuggly and warm! It puts the Snuggie to shame! Wahoo for Blankie Tails! Mermaid holiday wishes, everyone

Whaaaaaaat! I didn't know a company started making these! My best friend sewed me one around this time last year, but it was sewn off at the feet, which would've been cooler, but it also has a drawstring top and it's long enough to go past my head, it's kinda like a little cocoon

I got a bunch of fleece to make some kinda like these. I was also going to attempt dragon ones.

The concept had never even crossed my mind before! I can't wait to get mine! My mother ordered me the Pink & Periwinkle one, which was the one I asked for... Not sure why, as I usually go with blues, greens, and aquas with all my tails, but for some reason I just really wanted that pink and dark blue one! They're made to order so it won't ship until the 21st. If my mom ordered priority shipping, it should arrive by the 25th, but if not I guess I'll be getting it after Christmas day (no big deal). I'm SOOO excited!

What will the dragon one look like? Will it still have a mermaid tail or are you making something that's like dragon wings and scales or something instead?

[MerMaisy]

I think I'll just make it longer and thinner near the end and put scales on the back.

the blankie thing has been a trend for a while. I've seen countless variations of it. I even have a woman locally who makes them!

I dunno. They look rather dangerous to me....

[Mermaid Jaffa]

Ooo! Me likey! And they have the same shape as the Mirage Rubber Mermaid Fin.

I got to looking at fleecy fabric online, to make my own...

Me wants a mermaid sleeping bag, for the days or weeks that for some reason or other that one can't go swimming. I want to snuggle up inside my cosy tail like a snail!

[AtlantisDreamer]

Me too! The gym pool nearby is heated, but the lap lanes are really shallow, and I also hate having to get back out of the water and into the freezing cold air. Plus even though it's heated, it's still a shock to the system to jump into. I'm one of those hate-cold-water types, so I'd rather just express my inner mermaid in a blankie tail while reading my Nook. They definitely beat Snuggies, that's for sure!

I... Have no words for what this thread has become.

On the mermaid tail blankie side I made a clownfish one earlier this year and gave it to someone very special as a birthday present. Forgot to take a picture of the finished product of course because I got so excited about sending it... But overall the thing was exceedingly simple to make.

Oh and I got the mermaid blankie for christmas! It's wonderful! So comfy! And since your feet can slide down into the tail, you can walk in it, lol

[AtlantisDreamer]

I'm wearing my pink and periwinkle blankie right now... It's the best! These pictures show a model btw - this isn't me.

[AtlantisDreamer]

I love how the footies can go into the tail cause you can actually walk in it if the need arises, lol. And the body portion (not the tail) is REALLY big... But that's a good thing... I can cuddle up on my side in the fetal position so comfortably and just go to sleep - with the tail neatly spread out on the end of my bed so that it looks like there's a mermaid sleeping there!

I have no words to describe the pure awesomeness of this. I love the blue/green one....

[Nerdmaid Faith]

Shimmertails makes these types of blankets and sent me one to review!

FinFun also has them:

I have one (the blue and green one), and I absolutely love it. It is my to-go-blanket, always ready on the back of my couch. However, it is not comfy to sleep in overnight in the bed. I used it once to try and break out a sweat because I was sick, and it felt restrictive on my legs and my hips when I tried to move, although when you are awake it is very big and has lots of room.
